The Monster
by L.J. Shen
Sam and Aisling’s story was my personal most anticipated out of all the Boston Belle’s and it most certainly did not disappoint. There is a lot of character and story building in the first half of this but it really hits its stride and takes off running in the second half.
Sam Brennan is a self-proclaimed monster. If you’ve read Sparrow then you know what a piece of work Sam’s mother is - but experiencing her through his point-of-view and really seeing the extent of what he’s been through was truly heartbreaking. As a result he closes himself off from feelings and getting too close to anyone.
Aisling Fitzpatrick is the seemingly naive American princess harboring an unrequited decade long crush on Sam. Aisling took me by surprise, I knew there was more to her than met the eye in the previous installments of the series but she was so much more multifaceted and complex than I expected. She absolutely gives as good as she gets and is definitely a monster in her own right. Girl is bad-ass!
These two together constantly pull each other out of their comfort zones. And although these two come from completely different backgrounds and upbringings they actually have a lot in common when it comes to familial neglect and the darkness that lives within.
The Monster also brings LJ’s trademark dry humor and sarcastic barbs with a healthy but not overdone dose of smut. Sam and Ash’s first steamy scene is
